Atlantis Rising is about a person named Promi. He is a thief with a sweet tooth in the city of great powers. One day he steals a pie and gets thrown in a dungeon, where he meets a monk who tells him that the immortals are at war with the immortal of war. After Promi gets out of the dungeon he meets Atlanta, who has natural magic. The Immortal of war has a servant named grukkar who is in the mortal world. Grukkar is trying to find a magical object and turn it into a weapon for Narkhazan (the immortal of war.) Also, in the dungeon Promi meets a listener (magical people) who gives him listener powers. He also learns of a prophecy that states that someone with the mark of a soaring bird will hold the balance of the two worlds. Promi has that mark. My favorite part was when Kermi (a magic creature given to Promi by the listener) jumped on Narkhazans face. I would rate this book five stars because it is very interesting.
The Tail of Emily Windsnap, by Liz Kessler
The main character of The Tail of Emily Windsnap by Liz Kessler is Emily there are some supporting characters and they are her mom and Shona. Most of the book takes place, well its sort of even the story takes place on land as well as under water.
One important part of the book was when Emily felt a cramp like felling in her legs a felling of them joining together and that night she was felling a little curious so see snuck out that and creeped into the ocean and she discovers her secret she was a mermaid.
Another important part of the book was when she and Shona (her mermaid friend) go to this abandon ship and Emily realizes that the ship is exactly what her mom had said her dream boat was like so Emily starts to get a little freaked out.
This was one of the best books I have ever read. My favorite part of the book was when Emily went to mermaid curt because of what she did but I can’t tell you what she did you will have to read the book and find out. I didn’t have a least favorite part. I would rate this book ***** out of ***** and people who believe or want to know more about majestical creatures this book is for you.

Tale Of A Fourth Grade Nothing, By Judy Blume
Tale Of A Fourth Grade Nothing
*****
Tale Of A Fourth Grade Nothing was a good book. It had a
great story about a boy named Peter who has a brother named Fudge. Peter has a pet turtle that he really cares about and love named Dribble. Well fudge always gets in the way by causing trouble. So a bunch of funny things happen & Fudge always ruins them. Like when the dads client comes over he takes out Peters turtle when he knows he not supposed to & the client hates the turtle and the client leavs the next day. At the end something happens that has to do with Fudge and Dribble & really efects Peter and his feelings. I am not going to tell you, You have to read the book to find out! I would rate the book 5 out of 5 stars!
I loved it I hope you will love it to!
A Tale Dark And Grimm By Adam Gidwitz
This book is a horror/humor themed novel. I usually do not like horror and humor together but I think that this book changed my mind. This book is about Hansel and Gretel. All of you probably know about Hansel and Gretel and their cheesy little witch story. but this book shows the original, grimm, tale. Not only does it show you the witch story but it also shows you a bunch of other horrifying, eye-popping, tales. I would recommend this book to people who don’t feel queasy when they read about blood and people who do not get scared easily because as said before, this book is pretty scary (not to me but probably to some people in the grade.) I would rate this book 5 out of 10 stars because I really think that this book did not get the most appealing introduction and ending. But what I really do love about this book is all of the fantasy and adventure in between the horror and humor. The last story about a dragon seemed the most upbeat but if you want to know what it was you’ll have to read the book to find out.
Charlie Joe Jackson’s Guide to Extra Credit by Tommy Greenwald
Charlie Joe Jackson’s guide to extra credit is about a kid named Charlie Joe Jackson who is trying to get extra credit to avoid going to an academic summer camp. So in order for that to happen he has to get straight A’s and is allowed one B. Charlie Joe Jackson realizes that he can do so by getting extra credit in his classes that are harder. He goes to the gym teacher and asks how he can get extra credit in his class and he says… Ha, I’m not going to tell what awful thing he had to do you’ll have to read the book. And then he goes to the art teacher and does the same thing, and the art teacher says that he can by, guess what, I’m not going to tell you!
You should read the book!! I would give this book 100 out of 5 stars. Does he have to go to the awful summer camp or does he get straight A’s with one B? You’ll have to find out! I really like how Tommy Greenwald came to visit our class. It makes you think about the book in a whole different way.
S.T.A.T. by Amar’E Stoudemire
I recommend the S.T.A.T. series if you like sports or adventure. it is an auto-biography. The books are about Amar’e Stoudemire, a player for the Knicks, and his life as a child. The main bump in the last book ,Most Valuable, Amar’e has to set up a tournament for a famous streetball player named omar tanner. The name of the tournament is The Classic.
In the second book he almost loses his best friends, Mike and Deuce. He also makes a new friend named James A.K.A.“Jammer”. Over his adventures many things happen. Read the series for more info. the reason I like it is because what I said befor, I like adventure and sports. I would rate this an 8 out of 10 stars.
Trouble According to Humphrey by Betty G. Birney
Trouble according to Humphrey is by Betty G. Birney. Humphrey is the main character and this book is full of adventure because of the main character Humphrey. It takes place in many places like the school and other kids houses.
Once a family called the Paynes who complained about Humphrey and It was about getting their family sick and also Humphrey was not eating so Mrs. Brisbane the teacher brought humphrey to the vet when Humphrey really just was sad about his human friends and what he had done to them accidently. This book was really good and if you like animals and adventure and even if you don’t you will probably like this book anyway.
One of my favorite parts as when Humphrey was at Seths and Seths families and they [and Humphrey] had a competition on who can sit still the longest. The one who wins gets 2 tickets to the movies and can bring a friend and Seth [ who is called sit still Seth because he always pops out of his seat] won. I would really recommend this book in fact it is about my 2nd favorite book. This book is very good for 3rd and 4th graders. I think it is good for them because if I read this book in 3rd grade it would probably have been just right for me and I know it is just right for me in 4th grade because I read it in 4th grade. I rate this book five stars out of five because it is sure one of my favorites.
The Wicked Wicked Ladies in the Haunted House
by Mary Chase
Maureen who is the main character in the book I read is kind of a bully but only because people pick on her sometimes, she is also a very clever kind of girl who needs a lot of attention because she is always causing trouble.
So one day Maureen is walking along and takes her neighbor’s house because she is in a cranky mood and sprays her neighbor’s house with water and then Maureen’s neighbor comes out of her house and yells at her so she sprays her neighbor too. And her neighbor chases her but Maureen runs so fast that her neighbor can’t keep up with her.
Near by there was an old haunted house but Maureen did not know that so she ran into the haunted house and finds a magical feather bracelet and she takes it. The ladies who live in the house need that bracelet to do the magic they want to do so they send Maureen back in time to get the bracelet back.
It is a really magical wonderful story it is well written and I would rate my book 5 out of 5 stars.
Warriors by Erin Hunter
The book that I am reading is called Warriors by Erin Hunter. If I were to rate this book on a scale of 1 to 10 it would be a 10. I would say this book is for a person who likes adventure. The book is about fictional cats who live in the forest and do a lot of exploring that they should not be doing. The book is called Warriors because the cats start in the nursery and they rise up to be a warrior or a medicine cat. The main event aside from being a warrior is the main character Jaypaw is blind and he wants and he wants to become a warrior. I think the book was great and I highly recommend this book to everybody.
